From the Philadelhia Times
Dolls have amused the girls for ages and seem to
have been well known In the days OF the Pharaohs:
for, in the tombs Of ancient Egypt, figures OF
painted wood, OF terracotta, OF ivory and OF rags
have been found whose limbs were made movable
for the delight OF children. 1t is quite probable
that Pharaohs daughter threw aside mimic child
for the real baby which she discovered in the
famous bullrush basket. In the tombs OF Etruria
have been discovered; they were spread in the
east, and in China, as well as in India movable
figures were made to act from time tmmemOrial by
hand and on strings, or as shadows behind a cur
tain. The ancient Greeks were experts in the
manufacture Of puppets including wax dolls, and
several OF their poets alude to offerings dolls
Artemis and Aphrodfte made by maideAs before
their marriage.

The Summer Line Between Modesty
and ImmOdeStY.

1t is alleged that to the pure all things are
pure and that much abused motto is true OF
Narragansett, writes a correspondent from that
charming summer resort. The people and their
pranks are innocent enough, and when mad
emoiselle removes her bathing suit she removes
entirely all the conditions surrounding us
use, and becomes once more young per.
son of great conservatism in matters of
modesty. The peculiar contrast Is
sometimes funny. This morning young iady
of Is, whose Christian name appears to be Mary
appeared on the beach in blue bathing SUIT
and conventional dark blue stockings. she was
so little bothered by her short skirts and long
| legs that she fairly waltzed into the breakers,
| in merry indifference, and afterward took long
walk up the beach in the company of gentle
man bather, with only one thickness or cloth
between the most of her and the soft clemency
| OF the weather. When she came out she chatted
unconcernedly with several ladies, and tramped
around with easy Indifference until, by CIR
cuitous route she reached her bath house and
| disappeared. This was at 1890 o'clock.
At 4:30 O'Clock she sat down on the top step
| of the hotel stairs, and soon became absorbed
| in the fascinating pages of "Allan Quatermain.
| Soon she forgot everything else, Lost in the
| centre of Africa, she became unconscious OF
the social amenities of America Becoming
cramped in her position she crossed her rlght
knee over her left. Her gray cashmere dress
was tight, and she gave it twitch. her attl-
tude to any one entering the place and ascend
ing the steps thereupon became unconventional
if not picturesque. 1t must have been so to
some extent, for her companion of the morn
ing as he entered the yard and stopped at the
foot of the stairs made a remark. His eye
twinkled and his tone was at once patronizng,
mildly reproachfu and humorously malicious.
He said:
You're getting to be big girl now, Mary"
In less time than it requires to read it, Mary
had done several things. She had Strengthened
out her feet, slapped down her skirt, blushed
to deep ochre tint even to the back of her
neck, and hurled "Allan Quatermain" with all
her strength at the gentleman, who, though he
lodged, refused to stop laughing, Then, as the
| righteousness of the situation struck her, she
began to laugh too. Though the stockings were
different, the limbs inside them were precisely
the same that she had exhibited that morning
to far greater extent and without blush.
Circumstances appeared to alter the case, as
| they always do with women,

CoURrsHIP IN GREENLAND.
Ardent Lovers Must Sometimes Find
it Vexatious to Play a Go Between.


From the Manchester Courier
The preacher is invariably resorted to, both
by young men and maidens, as the matrimonial
agent. The young man comes to the missionary
house and says to him. 81 want to marry"
''Whom:" asks the missionary Have you
any one in mind?'
yes answers the lover, "but. she will not
have me. want you to speak TO her"
Have you not spoken for YOURSELF"
MANY times, but she always says No"
THAT is nothing" says the pastor: you
know the WAYS of maidenS Does she like you?H
1T is difficult to find out. She will tell you q"
/ The pastor accordingly sends for the girl, who
comes willingly enough, knowing what the mes
sage means.
''Wel my daughter he observes, sit is time
you should think of marriage"
81 never mean to marry" is the invariable
and conventional answer.
That is pity says the minister. because
l have a good husband for thee"
"WhO is he?A she asks.
The missionary then tells her his name-al-
though she knows it as well as he does-an
launches out into the lovers praise. He is
strong, good-looking, kindly; he caught two fine
whales when his companions took none, or
whatever else can be said to his repute. After
the catalogue of his merits has been recited the
girl replies;
But | think him good-for-nothng
"Ah, well, says the missionary, thou art not
wise. There is no lad can fling a harpoon as he
can. l shall soon find him wife"
He then wishes the girl a good day, affecting
to believe that the interview is over. But she is
sure to linger, and after a blush and sigh she
whispers: $50 it is particularly your wish, Herr
Pastor9 | do not quite like him. with deep
sigh, but if you" At this point she vir-
tually hands over the business to the minister,
who has to tell her that she knows she loves the
lad: that she would not have come if she had
not thought of accepting him and that nothing
is wanting but to ask the blessing of God upon
their union.
The marriage, curiously enough, usually takes
n1cp unnn the daV which the bride has
emphatcally protested that she will never have
the bridegroom.

Why the Charter Cannot be Granted.
The prospect that the Marietta and North
Georgia railroad will get a charter from
Marietta to Atlanta from this Legislature
is not promising. There may be reasons
why it should have a charter, but the
reasons why it should not have one at once
are much stronger.
To grant it the charter it wants would be
TO greatly lessen the value of the State road.
The people own the road and their represen-
tives have no right to iniure their property
without excellent reasons for doing so. If
the Marietta and North Georgia were per-
mitted TO parallel the State road from Ma
rictta to Atlanta the latter property could
neither be sold nor rented for as much as it
can now.
1t has not been very long since the Ma
rictta and North Georgia was voted dona-
ton of 100000 in bonds from tho State. II
is most too soon for it to expect to receive
another favor that would damage the State
much more than 100000.
Let the State road be sold and then the
Legislature will be at liberty to consider the
application of the Marietta and North Geor-
gia for charter. Indeed the very great
objection TO granting this charter at this
time is a strong argument in favor of selling
the State road.

step down and out" President Arthur re-
piled: "out, but not down Up, TO the

servants Of the people and that their posi-.
tions are below the people. not above them.

A Boston Merchant With a Long Head

From the Boston Transcript.
A Boston capitalist, who is a leading merchant
as well as a large owner of real estate, is noted
for the interest be takes in young men in cleri-
col positions. Once a frightened bank cashier
waited upon him to say thar by the mistake of
one of the clerks a check of the merchants had
got into the pigeonhole marked protested. AS
Mr. Millions might have heard a Tumor that his
check had been protested the cashier FASTENED
TO explain and said that he would discharge
promptly the young man who made the mis-.
take.
And why discharge him, sir?' mildly asked
Mr. Millions.
because he put your check in the protested
box"
at is q good many years. said Mr. Millions,
as he tilted back in mis- Office chair, and after his
fashion haFpooned his blotting pad with his pen,
"snce was young man, but my memory is
that l sometimes made mistakes. II mad been
discharged for every mistake made should
not have made my fortune. The young man
whose mistake Is pointed out TO him and for
given is the most careful man in the office ever
afterward, l think my business relations with
your bank are likely to be prolonged if the young
man is not discharged"
And the young man was not discharged.
